Vents only blow on HIGH on 2004 Highlander

No matter whether A/C is on or off and circulation is on or off the vents only blow when the knob is set on high. I can hear the motor make a slight noise when set to either of the low settings but no air blows except on high.

    The blower motor resistor may be going bad, have you tried checking for voltage at the resistor connector?

You need to replace the heater blower motor resistor. It is located in the air tube between the motor and the center of the heater box, under the glovebox area.

Started out with cold air coming out the vents

I'm no 'expert' but it sounds like possibly 2 different problems. Your heat comes from warm/hot coolant circulating through the heater core, and the fan blowing air through/over it. If your thermostat is not opening the coolant won't circulate. Thermostat is a not too difficult or costly starting place. No air flow leads me to think you have a blower motor issue, perhaps start with the fuse. Hope this helps.

The Air flows through only the defrost and feet vents

Inside the ventilation system there is gates that open and close to direct the air flow. These are operated on vacuum on most vehicles. The hose for that perticular gate may have disconnected somehow or has a hole in it. I suggest you take the heater controls out and see if there is a plug with a series of colored hoses on it. it so you'll have to trace each of them to see which one is the problem. Now you may be able to get some help from you local dealers mechanic who just may know the color code for that gate. (which would be a bonus) Good Luck

Dash vents not working

It may be the actuator not working properly. Should be above the accelerator pedal to the right.
